I am stuck and looking for some help.  I have field in my database that stores a string.  The string can sometimes look like this: Other~OtherValue:Attempted Theft|Theft.  I want to create calculated filed in my query that would look to see if the string starts with "Other" and then just give me the characters between the ":" and the "|".  The number of characters can vary depending on what the user has typed in. When other is used the string will always start with "other".  Thank you.
